Only within the same family.

 

Fiji = Fury X/Fury/Nano?

Hawaii = 390x/290x/390/290

Tonga = 380/285

Tahiti = 280x/7970/280/7950/7870XT

Pitcairn = 270x/7870/270/265/7850/370

etc

No. It must be another 280X, 280, or 7970. VRAM amount can be mismatched. @007agentHP.

7950 will work as well.

That's also true. These damn re-brands.

Well you can but it's hard as hell to do it and it involves coding

Honestly it's not worth it though
